Well like usual every Monday morning I got on the scale. I was a bit reluctant because last week I didn't lose, in fact I had gained a pound or two. Also, this weekend my husband and I went to dinner. I did order a veggie wrap, skipped the chips that came with it and only had half and had the other half yesterday for lunch.

Anyhow I got on the scale and FINALLY saw a 1 in front of the other two numbers! I haven't been in the 100's since before I had my first baby, and that was 19 years ago! So yes, while 199 is still heavy for me this is a hugh accomplishment.

I am so very thankful for the ability to get the band. Without it I am positive I would have died at a young age due to complications from obesity.

I hope everyone is doing well in their journey.

WOOO HOOOO, Congratulations!!!! I can't wait to get there too. I have 23 lbs to go so it's within reach. Keep up the great work. Pretty soon the 200's will be a distant memory.

Thank you and congratulations to you as well in your accomplishments! Before you know it you will have lost those 23 pounds, and yes, the 200's will soon be a distant memory.

Good luck in your journey! :confused:

That's GREAT! Congratulations!!!!! I am close myself...however my weight loss is extremely slow as I have not reached the sweet spot yet...so although I am eating less, I still am not losing at a 2 pound a week rate. I have been banded since the middle of June. I get another fill the first week in Dec. It will be my third. My doc moves forward VERY slowly. That's okay. I am not depressed because of the slow loss. As long as it is on a downward trend...I can wait for results. I mean it did take 52 years to get this fat...so all I have is time to enjoy the ride!
